The week begins with Mercury stationing direct in Leo on Monday, August 11. This is phenomenal energy to begin the week with, as it brings movement and possibilities into your life. Take the time you need to process what you’ve been through since July 18, but don’t stop yourself from moving ahead.
To make full use of this energy, it will be crucial to know what you deserve, which asteroid Ceres will assist with as it stations retrograde in Aries on Monday, August 11. Ceres helps you to return to yourself and stop compromising what you are worth. This powerful combination of energy will intensify as Venus and Jupiter unite in Cancer, also on Monday, August 11. Lucky and abundant opportunities will help you understand how everything you’ve been through has led to this moment.
On Tuesday, August 12, retrograde Saturn in Aries will align with Uranus in Gemini, bringing about a surprise change of feelings or course of action. This is due to newfound freedom from restrictions, both in your life and in how you think about what you’ve been through. Then, as Mercury, now direct, in Leo aligns with Mars in Libra, you will be compelled to take action. When you’re no longer hanging onto the pain of the past, you can turn your experience into gold and release all you no longer need. As the week comes to a gentle close, the Last Quarter Moon in Taurus will rise on Saturday, August 16, helping you to regain your faith and trust that space is being made only because something better is in store for you.

You are your greatest source of wealth, Virgo. On Friday, August 15, Mercury in Leo will align with Mars in Libra, bringing to light innovative ideas and inspiration for how to live an abundant life. Because Mercury just stationed direct on August 11, it isn’t back to its normal pace just yet.

You can take your time with this energy, yet it’s also important that you take action with it. Mercury in Leo will be tuning you into your intuition, while Mars in Libra represents taking action to manifest the life you deserve. You don’t need to look outside of yourself with this energy, but simply make time to connect with your inner wisdom.

There will always be a reason not to, Libra, yet that doesn’t mean you can let it slow you down. On Saturday, August 16, the Last Quarter Moon in Taurus will rise, bringing incredibly powerful energy, especially with the universe currently guiding you to take new chances toward expansion.
The Last Quarter Moon is a time of gentle release, and in Taurus, it asks you to let go of the reasons or excuses that you can’t make a change in your life. It helps to lessen the emotional ties to your comfort zone so that you can be in a place to take a chance on yourself. Be gentle with yourself during this time, don’t force anything, and don’t be too harsh on yourself for the process that you needed to go through to become the person you are today.

You can’t always predict your destiny, Sagittarius. Venus will unite with Jupiter in Cancer on Monday, August 11, creating one of your luckiest days of 2025. Venus rules themes related to money and investments, while Jupiter expands whatever it touches. You may be considering purchasing a home, relocating, or taking your life in an exciting new direction. Yet, it’s also a path that you would never have predicted for yourself.
Although Venus and Jupiter are set to bring in an abundant new direction, in Cancer, it also represents how you will feel. For far too long, you based your decisions on results when, in reality, you should have been making them according to how you want to feel. As the stars finally align, so will your destiny.

Let yourself show how much you care, Capricorn. On Monday, August 11, asteroid Ceres will station retrograde in Aries.

As Ceres stations retrograde, you may find yourself working from home or finding greater ease in prioritizing your personal life. This will help you not just improve your closest relationships and home, but finally understand what it means to have balance.

Make space to get creative, dearest Pisces. Venus and Jupiter will form a divine union in Cancer on Monday, August 11, impacting your creativity, joy, and pleasure.

To be creative is more than just picking up a paint brush or penning your latest poem. It involves being connected to your inner self.
